Buying Webhost that allows adult content

    Hello DPers,

    I'm currently with a webhost and paying £5/mo for a shared package. I'm getting extremely tired of their poor customer service - my tickets can go ignored for days and they can sometimes have inadequate English - so I'm on the prowl for a webhost that is preferably based in the UK (or has servers in/near the UK) and a good track record of customer service is an absolute must. My preferred choice of payment is through paypal and at a monthly rate - I'm not so keen on bulk-time prices.

    I saw a thread with good things to say about WebHostingBuzz. The site is nice and the packages are very fair. The problem is, after about half an hour in a live chat with a very helpful agent I was about to decide to use their services until I realised they do not, under any circumstances, allow any adult websites on their servers.

    I'm bitterly disappointed, I was so close to ordering one of their packages.

    I have a very popular adult website that has no illegal content. Can anyone suggest a host that can satisfy all of my requirements?

    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated, I need to get off this host ASAP!

    Would you be interested in partnering to share a larger account with very good setup for us with a handful of sites? I'm also finding myself researching and looking into the current hosting options, but I've actually run servers and small hosting companies before, so I can make sure that we are well setup.

    P.S. I think maybe you are supposed to put this in the "adult category" or possibly web hosting, but I think adult since "all adult related content goes there"

    There are lots of hosts willing to accept adult content, but not many of them explicitly list this on their websites. You would probably be best to contact them individually to find out if they do or not certainly. Did you have any bandwidth or space requirements that would help narrow your search?

    Thank you all for your replies, I've found a new webhost that I'm very happy with.
